TRACE THE MITTEN

The daily wind has been consistently from the south or southeast and this gives a little tail wind.  The road goes between the hills and these factors make for a nice ride.  Ride early in the day and beat the heat.

There will be one spot to meet your needs in the towns like Alanreed. I hear that this place has motel rooms too. When you find a place like this, stock up.

The route changes and time passes and it becomes very hard to find the pavement. Be careful in the tall grass for snakes.

The Magnolia Cafe and Mobil gas. I doubt if the Cadillac works either.

This cross is 190 feet tall and the surrounding grounds are impressive.  It is touted to be the tallest cross in the western hemisphere.
You see another attention grabber from the highway.  I do not know the story about the lean, but it reminds of a place I visited in Italy. I think that the current owner, Mr. Britten, got a good price on a useless water tower.  The owner had a service station that might have  benefited by those who decided to investigate.
